Introduction

If you've ever wondered what Mary of Nazareth was like as a child, here is her story. She must have been an extraordinary little girl for God to reach down and choose her to fulfill the ancient prophecy about a virgin that would bear a son, Jesus—the only son of God.

Mary's Early Life

Here is the story of Mary, the little girl from a normal, humble family in the area of Galilee. She lived in the little village of Nazareth. Her life was simple and ordinary. Her household was full with parents and grandparents, two big brothers, and a haughty, gorgeous older sister.

Mary delighted in everyday life and found joy and excitement in a humdrum existence. She had no idea what was in store for her life. There was no clue that this seemingly unremarkable young girl would experience a grand adventure worthy of history books.

Divine Purpose

She was set in place and time to be chosen by God Himself to become the mother of the Savior of the world.
